<strong>Lesson</strong> <strong>Seven</strong><br />
PART C:<br />
11. For the next task, have students insert words and ideas they think of if boys/girls<br />
don’t fit into what is in the box. (e.g., what happens if a girl/female is not skinny,<br />
sweet, doesn’t like shopping, and likes to build things, etc.? What happens if a<br />
boy/male is not strong, cries, doesn’t like sports, likes to cook, etc.?) Ask<br />
students to consider specific slurs or put-downs that are used, assumptions<br />
people may have about the girl/boy, negative behaviours towards the person not<br />
fitting into the gender role.<br />
Teacher Note: Be sure to create a safe environment by letting students know that<br />
it’s okay to use slang and/or inappropriate language for the purpose of<br />
deconstructing myths and stereotypes. You may want to discuss this lesson<br />
(language use) with your administrator prior implementing this activity.<br />
For example:<br />
12. As a whole class, discuss the students’ results. List in categories the ideas that<br />
groups came up with. Create headings, and record appropriate items under the<br />
headings as students share.<br />
